Authors Note:
(Will you read this? I highly doubt it considering the length of it. It will likely take you longer to read it than it took for me to write it. That is not
the fault of my constant Reader. The educational system is to blame..A.N.F.)
Insomnia = Writing
After a few weeks of suffering the dreaded "writer's block", there has been
much pecking and tapping on my key-board the last 48 hours, creating a
substantial amount of words from the thin air around me, but I crashed and
burned this afternoon, even after five(5) or six(6) hours of sleep last night.
I suppose that this is quite natural when you do NOT sleep, at all, for over
thirty-five(35) hours and of course, other than the smoke of the blessed purple
trees whose potent smoke swayed gently in the breeze of the blade-less fan, the
factual reality of my insomnia has been WITH-OUT chemical assistance. Hell, if I
could have slept, I would have. I sincerely tried but alas, no such luck!
Now I either have to stay awake in the reality I detest, after waking a short time
ago, to finish this already late writing project for Alia Sharrief (Bakari Pilgrim),
which might cause another jerk chicken ass insomnia attack. I have begun to
notice that my Word-Bully writing binges is one of the main reasons this bad
craziness of NO SLEEP happens to me. I feel I should continue with the Sunday
afternoon pattern of Sloth and rest my eyes but If I do that, I will not be
finishing in the minutes the early morning hours the writing that I need to
accomplish. It is so very TEMPTING to allow myself the luxury of sleep since Iam so tired.......
Although I am not getting paid yet, except for the learning experience, for the
writing of my words, this project is for a damned good friend -Bakari-, who is
not just a friend but an honorable man I consider my brother. I hate that I keep
procrastinating the final draft of what he needs but alas, physical exhaustion is
the cause of my laziness. Even with the benefit of the hours of sleep, before
which I researched mix-tape press releases, the final draft should have been
finished days ago......
Although I will be the FIRST to admit, especially to myself, that my scrawling
words are not as important as a TRUE JOURNALIST's material, along with the
fact I do not have telephones, e-mails, or fax machines (or even live humans)
screaming at me for MORE & MORE WORDS, I am beginning to understand
why Hunter S. Thompson always loathed his official dead-lines. It was NOT all

fun and games for him or any other writer worth his weight in words-- but in
reality, Thompson's hatred (and FEAR) of the inevitable deadlines of the
Professional Writer is sincerely about the sense of failure and the definite LOSS
OF CONTROL. This is something I sort of understand. I'm sure that when I am
FINALLY recruited to the professional society of Word-Bullies, I will feel thisconsternation worse than I do now.
The unfortunate but the oh so true fact is that dead-lines come and go,
sometimes with a speed that leaves one stunned in absolute shock and dismay. If
the writer is not prepared, which is where I am at these during these first hours
of a new day,. I believe a writer must be ready and willing to be contumaciously
raped intellectually and psychologically by merciless editors who care only for
the monetary reasons of the morphemes that consist of my wordy scribbles......
Indeed!
Some ignorant folks who know NOTHING of the WRITING CRAFT may say that
I'm wasting valuable time with the "Kazinsky Quick-Writes" on Face-Book,
Google+, Scrib'd, Twitter, etc etc. These contributing and valuable members of
Society (Irony, my dear friends, is the corner-stone of any asshole scribbler)
tend not to realize that unless the word-count is below 1,500 words, at least for
Kazinsky, the quick-writes only take ten(10) to fifteen(15) minutes to write, with
another five minutes or so of rapid self-editing. The most important fact of
Face-Book (and social media in general) is that the "quick-writes" are
inspirational ideas that come forth to the consciousness as I both write and edit
them for status updates.
The only major draw-back of the whole "quick-write thing is that you,
Constant Reader, have to read the so-called "brilliant" updates I post but the
beauty of it all is that you can choose to ignore the words I write, if you want.
Considering the amount of people who actually READ what I scrawl, at least on
SCRIB'D.COM --33,816 reads so far--, I guess people really enjoy reading what I
write. This pleases me more than you could ever imagine. However, to most of
humanitys populace, why would want to do such a stupid thing with your freetime when you could spend it playing a video game or watching cable
television? This is absolutely beyond the limited comprehension of the red-
bearded White Devil Drew Kazinsky but illiterate assholes abound in this
apathetic World of the poorly educated. Unless you teach yourself by READING

ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING, you will always lack something important:
KNOWLEDGE!
Since our schools and public education system are rotten at the core, along with
the so-called "private schools", most education is based on standardized test
scores that are more about memorization of alleged facts than criticalthinking, which is sorely lacking in this cruel World. The whole sad educational
system is really about how much MONEY can be made on an already
economically exploited student (along with the family of said student) and the
lackluster scholars are not much better whether they attend a private school
or participate in the public school system. Sometimes the education is superior
in the privatized institutions but not necessarily so.
Except for instilling a false sense of entitlement that the private school learner
happens to be a privileged catechumen of education, they are not different thanthe poor students who try to better their lives. As they are routinely ignored by
the fools in political Power, who are supposed to FIGHT for better education
standards, these students struggle for survival. The people who attend the
elitist private schools often have enough scrilla scratch paper, which is a
definition in slang terms for money, to attend one of these insidious institutes
of "finer education", which will supposedly make you better than most public
school students, and these students are generally worse off, if not possessing a
humble mind-state.
This is sadly the perverted Democratic Capitalistic system in its true, limpid
form. The more money you compound in that greedy bank, which holds the
life-blood of your economic future, and the more you spend that money,
especially in credit form, the more patriotic (and better) you are in the eyes of
the local, State, and Federal Governments. American education institutions are
such pieces of dog feces intellectually, it cannot be surprising that statistically
the average user of Social Media (Face-Book, Twitter, etc etc) CANNOT READ
BEYOND a simple ninth (9th) grade reading level. To clarify this horrifying
truth, these dumb bastards are unable to read either To Kill a Mockingbird or
The Great Gatsby.
This is a shockingly, monstrous TRUE fact in regards to The United States of
America's abysmal Educational System. For this tragically atrocious reason, I am
considered strange and odd, for not only as a reader of meaningful books but
also because of my indubitable value as a stupendous Word-Bully, whose

definition is a Writer of Words that pulls NO punches in his writing, regardless
of the average Jerk Chicken Assholes in his life who think that what this Word-
Bully writes is an embarrassment to them. I feel that its a personal problem
they need to work on for themselves and most of the populace are not willing
to entertain the idea that they could be in error. This is such a perfect, almostconsummate yet mediocre standard that is prevalent among my fellow denizens
of humanity. This seemingly innocuousness trend of technology and computer
addiction, which is without a shadow of a doubt ruining (ROONT, as Mister King
might write)the folks I happen to live among, is something not being addressed
at ANY level of our society.......
May The Gods have mercy on both the heroes and the rascals on this spaceship
Earth!
Res Ipsa Loquitur
(which is Latin for "The thing speaks for itself", a medical and legal term that I
find is a great, impeccable phrase for disturbed writers, as long as you do not
become lazy with it and ALWAYS explain with the words you write even while
using this particularly useful idiom........)
